I get that Joel is a comedian, who tells jokes for a living, but this came across as disrespectful to Larry. I wonder if Larry was genuinely laughing or if he was just being polite.
William Albatross bit of a dumb reply since actors play many completely different characters. Was Heath ledger picked as the joker because he was similar to the joker in real life? But what about his other films that are completely different?
Should someone mention that as a show progresses, writers and actors keep playing into each other’s strengths to shape a character? If Joel and Alison would have their roles reversed, within a few seasons time their and the writer’s performances would have everyone saying Joel was the perfect Annie and Alison was the perfect Jeff. To clarify: they would be a different Annie and Jeff, but tv works in a way that with talented people working on it, characters will almost always turn out to be perfectly suited for their actors.
Joel McCale’s sense of humor is incredibly natural and quick-witted. Surprised he hasn’t been offered more in Hollywood because he is very charismatic and very similar to Greg Kinnear.
I actually found it a tad offputting and defensive. Every single initial response was a sarcastic comment. Less is more. I know LK is a terrible interviewer though, so there's that...
He should've asked: Larry: "are you gay?" Joel: no Larry: *another question* Joel:*another answer* Larry: "Is that why you're gay?" Joel: *sighs* I'm not gay Larry: Gay murderer says what Joel: what? (feel free to make corrections, i don't remember the episode that well :s)
It's actually annoying how he doesn't answer questions seriously the first time. Also his parks and rec bit is pretty bad and over used. Just not a good comedian in general lol
Thomas Ingram yeah it got kind of annoying, too predictable. It would be nice to have some sincere moments or a different brand of humor. Like the one at the beginning “so you’re an actor?” “I am, how DARE you, and you were on a talk show once right?”
GSP1014 I don’t know if it’s a crutch or a defense mechanism. Joel always seemed to me like he never felt he was good enough and always is trying to legitimize his success because he’s afraid of losing the momentum. Joel=Winger and he doesn’t wanna be the last one in Greendale.
@@LethallxVanity the setup is predictable, but the jokes themselves were still good at points. He was just doing an interview and making dumb jokes before every answer, I don't think he was trying to impress anyone with comedy gold. Don't judge an interview the same way you could judge the quality of a stand up performance.
I met Joel McHale in 2009 at a Spinal Tap concert. He was sitting about three rows behind me. After the concert I was like "Hey man, I really like you on The Soup!" And he was like "Hey, Thanks man!" And he smiled at me. It changed my life.
@@Pelztheo Yeah. It was 2009 so I think Community had just started but I hadn't seen it or watched it while it was on the air. I just got around to checking Community on Netflix and loved it, so I bought it on Blu-Ray for all the special features and uncut episodes. I just recently read that the Community movie might actually happen.
doctor: so, what brings you in here today, Joel? Joel: definitely the ambiance, the decor, the ferns in the corners… doctor: Joel: my leg is snapped in half doctor: ah
I already respected Joel, but he was *on fire* here. And King-- it was so heartwarming to hear him laugh that hard and so genuinely. I don't know that I've ever watched an interview of him so delighted. This was a terrific watch! RIP, Mr. King.
Joel is the perfect person to have played Jeff Winger. It always amazes me how well they cast this show. Everyone suits their roles. Like Chevy is literally pierce Troy has the child like wonder and timing that Donald has in reality. Britta is wacky weird like gillian, Shirley is maternal and cheeky like yvette. Jim rash is straight up mad man just like the dean.
would you say the watching the first season though? they started writing for the actors because they're all much more interesting than the characters they originally created. That's partially why the characters and dynamics feel so real. It wasn't perfect casting, they're just all very good actors to not make that transition feel as jarring as it could have
He's not well known outside the US and often producers want stars that'll attract audiences internationally. Also I've heard him say before he's been turned down for roles because he wasn't handsome enough?!?!? So, Hollywood BS it sounds like
This pairing is a perfect comedy duo. Larry just played straight-man for every answer that Joel gave, and Joel couldn't help but try to make Larry laugh.
Same with Dan Harmon. He didn’t actually say why Harmon was fired in the interview but it was because he was super difficult to work with, he had a feud with Chevy in which he was just as difficult as Chevy was, and also he was involved in a misogynistic incident where he made an employee’s life very difficult after she wouldn’t go out/sleep with him
@@DaDunge I'm in the middle of watching and that's starting to be why I really don't want to watch that much anymore. Right now there's no development and the characters relationships don't change.
@@aikidoboynj Fladerizsaion is when some trait of a character is exaggerated as a show progresses until the character essentially becomes a caricature of their fomer self. Usually it also involes a character going for believable to completly unrealistic.
@@aino1010 I think you're mixing knee high with thigh high. The striped ones that end just above the knee are thigh high, right? I think OP is speaking of mens dress socks that go really high to eliminate any possibilty of leg being seen in nearly any situation.
I worked on the show two seasons. Met Chevy backstage once, way in the corner of a sound stage. He was watching the super bowl. He looked at me and said 'If they ask where I am, you never saw me'. Funny guy. He had problems with the hours and didn't like the director. Also Chase made a lot of off color jokes between takes that might have been accepted in the 1970's but in the 2010's would have been labeled sexist.
Thank you for sharing that, unfortunately I got into Community a little later then everyone else so I was very confused by the date correspondence, lol.
He's old so his acting style should complement his age but harmon being a self driven creator forced I guess Chevy to act a bit of racist and when the plan didn't go as he envisions he just left Chevy on the side of the story
@@spaceghostrari1922 lol, really? Doesn't surprise me. I mean, Harmon has no "filter" as a director and, I believe, in a way he channels what he sees in people to come out through their roles in it's pure form that seems satirical and authentic at the same time. So probably Chevy really is like Pierce to a degree. But of course he doesn't want to be seen like that.
I admire Joel's restraint. Larry asks why he should go on Community if it's on the bubble. Joel could've said, "You're like 300. You're on the bubble!" But he held back.
After watching a lot of community behind the scenes and other off air videos, it seemed like Chevy wasnt even acting, he talks and moves like his character in the show 😆
Why does Larry seem like he hates doing this interview? Joel's trying to be funny and entertaining. Larry keeps cutting him off, he actually rolled his eyes. What's the point of having someone on if you won't let them be themselves and give them room to develop answers to questions before being rushed to the next one?
Just Larry being Larry. I love Joel but I was with Larry on this one. They have a limited time for the interview and when your interviewee is cracking jokes every answer you want to cut through that and get some real info.
@@brunneng38 Joel's a comedian, he's going to joke. And he was trying to get some answers out when Larry would interrupt him. A good interviewer lets answers develop.
Scotch eggs are not wrapped in bacon (unless that's a weird American thing) but wrapped in sausage meat and breadcrumbs. Might be one of the greatest inventions ever
1:55 Talking about Joel's early career: "But you were known as a comic?" "No!" "No?" "I did not start doing stand-up until about 5 years ago" Great research there Mr. King 🤠
